    Glad to help.

    Malnutrition is brilliant when it comes to sneaky software, he will be able to help you remove any unnecessary junkware better than I could.

    If you encounter any uncertainties while looking at a new PSU, don’t hesitate to ask more questions or create another thread.

        Thank you guys for all your help and advice. I have already removed that anti virus program and some other programs I do not use much. Problem is I need to move my sim game programs to the disk with most free space, I have no clue how to do that, but I will see if I can find somebody to give me a hand. Thank you again!

          What DRM are you using? Steam, Epic, Origin? etc

          Please be advised, you are moving it from a SSD to a HDD, the SSD is faster and will perform better but it’s not a bad thing to move it to the HDD if you need to free up some space.

            I am using steam, I would love to keep it on SSD, so maybe I should make space on the SSD.

              Click the Steam button in the top left of the windows, select Downloads and then Steam Library Folders.

              This will pull up an interface with your games and some info, press the plus and select Local Drive (D.

              Once you have done this, click the box next to the game you wish to move and hit the Move button, make sure you’re moving to the (D drive, this should be the only option.

              This will take some time, but it is virtually harmless, so if you decide that the performance on your HDD is not to your liking, you can swap it back on to your SSD at any time using the exact same process.

                As far as freeing up space.

                You can use Treesize to find files on your machine that you may wish to delete.

                [ul]
                [li]First download and save the portable version of Privazer to your desktop.[/li][li]Go through the options a set Privazer to your needs, select basic or advanced user.[/li][li]When you are done setting Privazer to your needs, then click on start cleaning then scan.[/li][li]This scan can take a while to complete, so it is best that you do it when you have some free time.[/li][/ul]

                You can use the Everything Search Engine to find and remove files from your machine.

                [ul]
                [li]Searching for file extensions in Everything Search, to help you along the way is easy.[/li][li]You can simply type .mp3 to find all of your music, or .mp4 to find your videos.[/li][li]You can open the file from the tools gui by double clicking it, and then decide if it needs to go.[/li][/ul]
                [HEADING=2]Using Master Seeker To Find Large Files Over 1 Gigabyte.[/HEADING]

                          I have downloaded programs that was suggested and I have run some of them, I have received many advice. What I have now is a PC that suddenly take ages to load graphic images. The problem is me, I do not understand computers enough to find my way around it and the programs I downloaded. All the terminology are overwhelming, I have to find a meaning for every new word, so I believe I cause more damage than good. I am very grateful to you all who are trying to solve my problem, I am hoping that at some time I will find the solution to all this. So I thank you all for your time and input, I really do appreciate it.
